LABOUR Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell gave a “non-answer” when BBC radio host John Humphrys cross-examined the MP over how Labour would frame a second referendum, while mentioning how the so-called People’s Vote is often referred to as “ludicrous”.

Mr McDonnell added: “Well let me go through it, all options on the table so that when we get to that situation Parliament will decide.

“All options mean yes people could have a vote on the deal, but all options will mean that Parliament will decide at the end of the day.”

The comments come ahead of a group of anti-Brexit MPs meeting European Union negotiator Michel Barnier this afternoon, as they attempt to push for a second Brexit vote.

The cross-party group of leaders, including the Lib Dem’s Sir Vince Cable and SNP’s Ian Blackford, will tell Mr Barnier there is growing support for a second Brexit vote after thousands of Remainers marched on Downing Street last week.

Sir Vince said: “Our ‘unholy alliance’ has provided a sensible counterpoint to the hard-line Brexiteers who have pushed the Conservatives and Labour’s frontbench into senseless and fudged positions.

“It is vital that Michel Barnier and the European Commission know that there is another view in Parliament, one that has cross-party support and that can get the EU and the UK out of this mess.

He added: “I will also tell Michel Barnier that there are also brave Conservative and Labour rebels involved in leading this fight to give the people a final say.

“As a result, there is now tremendous Parliamentary and public pressure to hold that vote.”
